As of this writing, dozens of extremely disturbing videos are being posted to X depicting violent beatings as individuals are surrounded and then pummeled. 

It’s ugly:   

Danny Danon, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, gave an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital on Thursday night.

"We are seeing a pogrom against Jews and Israelis unfold in Amsterdam," Danon said. "In 2024. This must stop. ‘Globalize the intifada’ was not just a slogan for these terrorist supporters. I urge the Dutch government to help all Israelis and Jewish people immediately. It’s time to respond with force against these barbaric rioters."

Warning: Videos contain violent images

The western world needs to wake up now!! This is the time when the UN should immediately and clearly condemn the violence of the Palestinians and their supporters. The Dutch authorities must take decisive action against terrorism now.

Some social media posters claimed that police were slow to show up, but the Jerusalem Post is reporting that the governments of Israel and the Netherlands are now getting involved:

Various reports in both Israel and Amsterdam have indicated that Israel’s embassy in the Netherlands has gotten involved and is assisting with relocating the Israelis to a safe location.

Footage circulating on social media has shown fans being beaten, chased with knives, and narrowly avoiding being hit by vehicles…

Translation by Google:

We deal with the authorities in the Netherlands in serious incidents there. Any Israeli or Jew who is currently in distress or has information and location about a violent event that is currently taking place - please contact the situation room: 0097225303155

There may even be kidnappings occurring:

According to Maariv, there has been at least one attempt at kidnapping an Israeli, and many have barricaded themselves in stores and buildings.

"I called my friend, and a voice in Arabic answered," one man said.

Multiple videos showed Israelis jumping into canals to avoid the protesters.

"We experience the very thing they told us in school would never happen again," another told Maariv.

Some of the scenes are horrific:
